#15 Soccer Training Session

Warm up, Jog and stretch doing all the normal exercises like high knees, side shuffle, etc. Finish with some leg kicks.

5-10 minutes:

Ball work in place. Every 20-30 seconds change up the exercise. Inside to outside touches, behind the back V's, toe touches. You be creative. Go hard for 5 minutes.

10-15 minutes:

Speed of play exercise using a chest trap to set up pass. Set up a start cone and an end cone behind you about 10 yards. Face your fence or wall. Toss the ball up in the air with backspin, let it bounce, chest it and pass it on the ground off the fence. As it comes back to you check your shoulders. Pretend you have a turn situation, then turn and dribble to the top cone quickly. Light jog back and repeat for 5 minutes. Make sure you check your shoulders before you receive the pass off the fence.

15-20 minutes:

Fitness shuttle sprints with the ball. Set up first three cones close together. Top two cones are 10 and 15 yards apart. Dribble quickly in and out of the first three cones, accelerate to 10 yard cone, sprint back with ball. With no rest immediately dribble in and out of cones again and sprint to the 15 yard cone. Sprint back with ball. Rest for 20-30 seconds and repeat. Do this 5 times. For extra work juggle with your feet on your rest breaks.

20-25 minutes:

5 minutes of cardio running while dribbling the ball. You should be going 60-70 percent. Make sure when you are dribbling you get your eyes up to practice seeing the field, don't always look down.

25-30 minutes:

Juggling while jogging! Set up two cones 20 yards apart from each other. Juggle with your feet or any body part, while lightly jogging back and fourth between the cones. See how many times you can go down and back without dropping. Repeat for 5 minutes. If you can't do it on the jog, walk and juggle, if you can't walk and juggle, then practice regular juggling. You know your level. Do what's right for you and your training!

Bonus Tip!

When you check your shoulders before you receive as pass you are looking for defenders, attackers, space, runs, maybe the goalie's out, etc. Doing this every time you receive a pass will greatly increase your speed of play and comfort on the ball.

If you want to extend the training session time then add on time to any section you want extra work on.

Make sure to finish with cool down and stretching. If you are up for it add on a few sit ups and push ups!
